I just purchased a Canon Pixma IP8720 inkjet printer and love it for the most part. I am having on problem. Sometimes the bottom of images misprint. I've attached an example photo. I'm thinking it's because the paper isn't completely flat, but any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

I'm using genuine Epson inks and always have. I'm going to try the Octopus Print Head cleaner you suggest. I'm trying to find a U.S. seller. It appears to be a European product and the websites that list it either won't ship to the U.S. or U.S. shipping is prohibitively high. I may try...

I've been able to keep my Epson R2000 working, thanks to tips on this website. It's been a chore, though, as this printer is seven years old. Recently, one color (magenta) just won't stay clear for more than a day or two. It's really clogged right now. I've been doing the Windex paper towel...

I actually changed two cartridges--red and yellow. The red presented no problems, only the yellow. I wasn't doing a firmware update. I've changed hundreds of cartridges in this printer without incident. Maybe it's just a bad cartridge or has a bad chip. I've ordered a couple of yellow...

Much thanks to you as well. With all the information I received in these two responses, I may save my printer yet. All the best. --David.

Thanks so much for all the info. You've given me several great options and it's much appreciated. All the best. --David.

I've attached photos of the nozzle check I just ran. Sorry the quality isn't better--I don't have a scanner so I just used my iPod Touch. As the yellow pattern is hard to see without an infrared light, the last image is a wide view with all the blank and misaligned segments circled. I've...

I think my Epson Stylus Photo R2000 is dying on me. No matter how many times I run the cleaner, wasting ink in the process, I can't get a couple of the nozzle check patterns to completely print. Printed images still look good from an arm's length, but closer inspection reveals banding. I'm...

I own an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 and got my first “Parts inside your printer are near the end of their service life" message today. How do I purchase your Reset Tool program CD? Incidentally, how many more images can I print before my printer stops working? Should I stop using it until I...
